Radio New Zealand’s Auckland Studios Have Been Sold !!!!!!

In a disgraceful move, RNZ is now homeless & has to rent them back and the profit will be returned to the crown, not RNZ!!!! RNZ will have to pay rent on this place, when they are already operating under a 9 year funding freeze, and have even less money to operate with !

Have a look for yourself. They have an 8 year lease, but who knows whether they’ll be subject to rent increases in the future. And what other cutbacks are they going to have to make to pay for this rent? They have already sold their grand pianos, got rid of Radio New Zealand House in Auckland, lost a floor in Radio New Zealand house in Wellington, closed regional offices in Tauranga, Palmerston North and Queenstown and heaps of other things!

Of course, if things continue this way, we will be losing the biggest asset of all – RNZ itself!
